About Us

This is the Atheist Channel at Patheos, home of smart, engaging commentary across the full range of freethought.

No single voice can capture the full spectrum of religious disbelief in a world of a billion nonbelievers, so we bring you a chorus of voices from that rapidly growing community. Though all of our writers have walked away from religious belief, no two stories or approaches are alike. You’ll find everything here from interfaith atheists to anti-faith atheists, from the individual to the congregational, from the philosophical to the hilarious. Meet agnostics, atheists, anti-theists, humanists, and “nones,” all exploring their culture, world, and universe from the nonreligious perspective now claimed by one in five Americans.

Atheism is as old the human mind and as young as…well, the blogs at Patheos Atheist. Pull up a chair, and welcome to the conversation!
